The 2023-24 NBA Regular Season has come to a close, and you know what that means? The return of the 2024 NBA Playoff Prediction Pool~!!! *yay*

Yours truly was last year's winner, successfully picking the Nuggets to win it all. I admit that I forgot to announce myself as the winner, nor I created a banner to celebrate. My apologies folks.

As usual, like all prediction pools I've done, you pick the team that you'll advance for points. There's also Bonus Points that you can get, by predicting that team that will represent the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference, and the NBA Finals. It's that's easy. Here's the breakdown:

...............................................................................................................................................

**BONUS POINTS**
Which Eastern Conference team will represent the NBA Finals?....3 points
Which Western Conference team will represent the NBA Finals?....3 points
Who will win the NBA Finals?.....4 points
